What’s new
Practice lessons right after you apply · Students decide on outside covers
Two changes this week: teachers who have just applied can try every classroom tool right away, and a group-class session is only handed to a teacher from outside the school when every student agrees.
Practise before you're approved
You no longer have to wait for approval to get to know the classroom. As soon as you've sent your application, a Practice lesson card appears on your application page. Start one now or schedule it, prepare it like a real lesson, then teach it to a pretend student with the whiteboard, slides, materials and everything else.
- Practice lessons are free and never appear on your profile. No student can see or book them.
- You can create up to 10 a day, with 3 waiting at a time.
- Once you're approved, your practice lessons move to your teacher portal with you.
Group-class covers: students decide when the colleague is from outside the school
When a teacher asks a colleague to teach one session of a group class:
- A colleague from the teacher's own school still takes the session as soon as they say yes.
- Any other colleague needs every student in the class to agree. Each student gets a notification and an email and answers in one tap. If anyone says no, or not everyone answers in time, the class's teacher teaches the session as planned.
